This tumbler features authentic Kaga Yuzen fabric, showcasing the beauty of traditional Japanese dyeing techniques.
 
What is Kaga Yuzen
Kaga Yuzen is a traditional Japanese dyeing technique that developed mainly in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It originated in the late 17th century and is a type of hand-painted yuzen that continues to this day.
 
Realistic and delicate designs
Motifs often include nature such as flowers, birds, and landscapes. Techniques like shading and "mushikui" (a style that mimics insect-eaten leaves) are used to create a sense of depth and realism.
 
Subdued, refined colors
Unlike the bright and decorative Kyoto-style Yuzen (Kyo Yuzen), Kaga Yuzen is known for its elegant and restrained color palette.
 
The Five Basic Colors
Kaga Yuzen typically uses five base colors: Indigo (Ai), Crimson (Enji), Ochre (Odo), Green (Kusa), Ancient Purple (Kodaimurasaki)
